Over the last three thursdays I have had a fun-filled time with a special group of friends. The three of us have learnt how to make a woven basket.
Our teacher is a weaver and a basket maker and comes from the USA. She put all her tools and cane, knowledge and skills at our disposal and today I have the finished result......
The design is called a Penland Pottery Basket .
We dyed the strips of cane and braided them into the basket once we had made the frame.
This was the model that we tried to match ours to,
